Growing up Online: An informative and entertaining session for parents and carers is delivered with Susan's famous 'no nonsense' approach and will cover the positive benefits of technology as well as what parents need to be aware of:-

What are kids doing online – The popular social networking sites and apps such as KiK, Musical.ly and Instagram & Yellow. What they are, what are the legal ages to use them and why these rules should be obeyed? The difference between an 'online friend' and a 'stranger'.

Online Grooming – What is it and when/how does it occur? What are the warning signs and what to do if you suspect this is happening to your child?

Cyberbullying - What it is, where it happens, what it looks like, how to prevent and what to do if it occurs. Also the legal consequences and the possible criminal charges.

‘Sexting’ – the taking and sending of explicit images...what are the REAL consequences?(Primary school kids too).

Potential dangers and safety tips – how to assist the children in your care to stay safe online via parental controls and restriction passcodes.

Problematic Internet use and gaming issues.

Office of the eSafety Commissioner – Role, Resources and Reporting.

Be confident in setting rules and boundaries around Internet use in the home. It's OK to say NO!
